302: The protagonist makes his move, turning the tables on the scheme.
While Lin Batian was secretly planning, Su Yun glanced at Lin Batian's location.
"Is that Lin Batian?"
"He actually followed us sneakily?"
Because he had the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl in his body, aura-hiding Spells were useless against him.
He had sensed someone peeping in secret right after he took out the ten-thousand-year snow spirit flower earlier.
He hadn't expected it to be Lin Batian.
Moreover, he noticed that when he held hands with Luo Qingshuang just now, Lin Batian seemed to get anxious, even leaking a trace of his aura.
"Junior Brother Yun?"
Luo Qingshuang saw Su Yun suddenly fall silent.
She thought her actions just now had startled Junior Brother Yun.
After all, she was the Senior Sister!
Anyone would be startled by such a sudden hand-holding.
Not to mention a man of integrity like Junior Brother Yun!
Thinking of this, a look of disappointment appeared on Luo Qingshuang's face.
Su Yun noticed the change in Luo Qingshuang's expression, was stunned for a moment, and quickly sent a voice transmission:
"Senior Sister Qingshuang, someone is following us!"
Luo Qingshuang then snapped out of it.
So Junior Brother Yun's sudden silence was because he discovered someone was following them, not because of her.
She asked via voice transmission:
"Who is it? Could it be those demon cultivators?"
"It's Lin Batian!"
Su Yun answered directly.
"What! It's actually him?"
A look of disgust appeared on Luo Qingshuang's face.
This Lin Batian had been harassing her since before Junior Brother Yun joined Flowing Light Peak.
Every time she left Flowing Light Peak, Lin Batian would follow and pester her. If Revered Master hadn't spoken to the Peak Master of Chongyan Peak, Lin Batian would probably still be pestering her.
He could be said to be one of the people she hated most.
He had even sent people to attack Junior Brother Yun before.
So she hated Lin Batian even more now.
Now that Lin Batian was following her and Junior Brother Yun, did he want to make a move against Junior Brother Yun?
Unforgivable!
Thinking of this, a hint of chill appeared on Luo Qingshuang's pretty face as she intended to strike directly.
"Senior Sister Qingshuang, wait. Let's find a secluded place to see what he actually wants to do."
Seeing that Luo Qingshuang wanted to act and the Spiritual Qi in her body was already starting to circulate, Su Yun hurriedly stopped her.
What if Lin Batian ran away the moment Luo Qingshuang attacked?
"Mm, I'll listen to you."
Luo Qingshuang nodded and calmed down.
"Let's go, we'll explore the other halls."
Su Yun suggested.
He acted as if he hadn't discovered anything unusual.
"Okay."
Luo Qingshuang said in a cold tone.
The two then headed toward the area behind the first hall.
Behind the first hall, there were nearly a hundred halls with different decorations.
These halls were carved with various Dragon Clan patterns, releasing dazzling spiritual light.
Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang entered one of the halls directly.
Inside that hall, there were many Heaven And Earth Treasures and some Spiritual Artifacts refined by the Yao Race. The two began to search for Heaven And Earth Treasures continuously.
At this time, not far from the two, Lin Batian also secretly followed them.
He was cautious, maintaining his distance and observing Su Yun and the other from afar.
"It seems I haven't been discovered."
Lin Batian said with some pride.
He was somewhat surprised.
Because he discovered that Qing Shuang was already at the sixth layer of the Soul Transformation Realm.
She was actually one layer higher than him.
As expected of the future Dao Companion he valued; she was indeed powerful.
At this moment, Lin Batian had already begun to fantasize about his beautiful future life.
"Is it my imagination?
Why are Su Yun and Qing Shuang always heading toward secluded places?"
After a while, Lin Batian felt that something was not quite right.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. If I had been discovered, they probably would have attacked me long ago."
He shook his head and continued following the two, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Half an hour later, Lin Batian followed the two to a relatively secluded hall.
By now, Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang had already obtained many Heaven And Earth Treasures from several halls.
"This Lin Batian can really keep his cool."
Su Yun thought to himself.
He had followed for a full half-hour and was still behind them; he definitely wanted to make a move against him.
Time to show a flaw!
"Senior Sister Qingshuang, let's pretend to rest for a bit!
Lin Batian will likely make his move against us."
He said to Luo Qingshuang via voice transmission.
"Okay."
Luo Qingshuang agreed.
"Let's take a break, I need to recover my Spiritual Qi."
Su Yun spoke naturally.
"Junior Brother Yun, I'll listen to you!"
Luo Qingshuang said in a cold tone.
The two then stopped their search and took out several Medicinal Pills for recovering Spiritual Qi to consume.
"The opportunity has come!"
A look of joy appeared on Lin Batian's face.
If he didn't act now, when would he?
Su Yun was currently recovering his Spiritual Qi; this was exactly when his guard would be down.
Immediately, Lin Batian took out a Formation Plate from his Storage Ring.
This Formation Plate was refined by an Old Ancestor of the Lin family at the Enlightenment Realm, and it could instantly release an illusion Formation to trap enemies.
It could even trap Cultivators of the Body Dao Integration Realm, let alone Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang.
However, the only flaw was that it had no lethality and could only trap people.
But this was just right; he only wanted to separate Luo Qingshuang and Su Yun, quickly kill Su Yun, and then leave without being discovered by Luo Qingshuang.
"Dragon Illusion Spirit Array, activate!"
Lin Batian suddenly injected Spiritual Qi into the Formation Plate.
The Formation Plate was instantly activated, releasing a wave of colorless Spiritual Qi that immediately enveloped the area where Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang were located.
"It's done!"
Lin Batian grinned, thinking with some pride.
Now the vicinity was enveloped by the illusion Formation. Once he activated it, Su Yun and the other would mistakenly think it was an illusion Formation that originally existed within the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm and wouldn't discover that he was the one who released it.
Meanwhile, in the hall not far away.
"Senior Sister Qingshuang, Lin Batian has acted. He seems to have set up an illusion Formation!"
Su Yun easily sensed the change in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as he and Luo Qingshuang were instantly enveloped by the Formation.
Does the Lin family have that many Formation Plates?
Last time there was a space Formation Plate, and this time an illusion Formation Plate?
Against someone else, this move would definitely work, but it was useless against him.
Under the effect of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl in his body, this illusion Formation was as if it hadn't been set up at all; it couldn't affect him.
"I'm already prepared to act."
Luo Qingshuang transmitted.
At this moment, Su Yun secretly released Heavenly Illusion Power to envelop Luo Qingshuang.
This way, she wouldn't be affected by the illusion Formation either.
"He's probably about to make his move."
The Spiritual Qi in Su Yun's body began to circulate as he prepared for battle.
Although Lin Batian's Realm was only at the fifth layer of Soul Transformation, who knew if the protagonist would have other trump cards?
He might just explode with power in the middle of the fight.
With a thought from Lin Batian not far away, the illusion Formation began to operate, and the surrounding area instantly changed.
Then, he turned into a streak of light and arrived before Su Yun, saying in a gloomy tone:
"Didn't expect this, did you, Su Yun?
I've come to settle the score with you!"
"And you are?"
Su Yun pretended not to remember.
In reality, the Spiritual Qi in his body was already poised for action.
"What? You actually don't recognize me?
How hateful!"
Lin Batian was instantly enraged.
